Stuck between these two names

We have two girls names we like, Ivy and Delilah. We originally liked Delilah more but have been leaning more towards Ivy recently. What one would you go for if you had to choose? Any name suggestions welcome too 😊

I like both, don't make me choose!

TeensArghhhh · 22/05/2020 22:42

Neither. But if I was forced....Delilah

Ivy

Ivy. Because of Samson and Delilah story and Tom Jones song.

sweetnosugar · 22/05/2020 22:28

I love Delilah!

Delilah is nicer

Neither

Delilah, a million times over.
I really don’t like ivy, it doesn’t have a good feel to it for me personally.

Delilah. I know loads of Ivys.

EmmaOvary · 22/05/2020 20:37

Ivy! Delilah could be a middle name?

Honeyroar · 22/05/2020 20:17

I agree re the Tom Jones song, but Ivy will end up getting called poisoned Ivy.

Layoverlife · 22/05/2020 20:14

Ivy

Thanks everyone 😃 it's looking like it's going to have to be Ivy! Funnily enough I haven't heard of any children being called Ivy recently and I work with young children. I only have 4 weeks to go so hopefully I don't suddenly see loads of babies called Ivy between now and then!

Ivy! I also can’t get past the Tom jones song for Delilah!

mumtobabygilrl · 22/05/2020 19:17

Ivy! Love that u can't really shorten it and I find Delilah a bit of a mouthful - think it sounds a bit chavvy too I'm afraid

MikeUniformMike · 22/05/2020 19:08

I'm not keen on either but Delilah is awful.

Roseburn · 22/05/2020 19:02

on the other hand..

Poison Ivy -y-y-y will make you itch

Spied · 22/05/2020 19:00

Delilah.

I really dislike Ivy. Looks and sounds ugly to me.

MrsNai · 22/05/2020 18:59

Why, why, why Delilah?

Selfsettling3 · 22/05/2020 18:58

Ivy

MaMaMyCorona · 22/05/2020 18:55
